Parenting

Some days I wonder what type of parent I'll be. I imagine that I'll be rather protective and not too far away when my child goes to make their next move, worried that he/she may fall or get hurt. And although I've seen with my own eyes that kids who fall often turn out okay, I imagine that when it comes to my own kid I'll have a hard time letting him/her go too far on their own. Part of me thinks that being concerned for your child's well-being is a good thing.....then I have days like today.

I pray that I will not lose perspective when it comes to my child's development. I hope that I can guide my kid to be well-balanced and let others participate in that process who also want my child to do well (but let's be honest, who's going to care about my kid more than me?) All well...time will tell.

In other news....how cute are these two? It was so much fun visiting them over Christmas, and I miss quite a bit.
